The Convict's Daughter.

In the year 1856 John Harlow started
for San Francisco, Cal, on a tour of
recreation from long course of legal
study. Nothing of special note occurred
to relieve the tediouSneS> Of his journey;
he arrived at his destination much shat
tered and fatigucd. Immediate rest was
needed, so he sought IA BOARDING house in
a dull, quiet part of the city, and for some
days enjoyed the seclusion and rest he
stood SO much in need of. His meals were
brought to his room, and therefore he had
no opportunity to make the acquaintance
of his ow-Doarders. The house was
run by matronly looking woman named
Wentworth, whose only weakness seemed
to be her voluble tongue. However, she
atoned somewhat for this in the excellent
quality of her menu, and, as this is the
paramount object sought for in board
ing-house, whatever foibles she possessed
in the eyes of her tenants were graciously
overlooked.
Her daughter, a comely young girl of
seventeen years, assisted her in the
household duties and at evening usually
entertained the house with pleasing
music on the piano. One evening AS
Harlow was enjoying fragrant
Havana in his room, and musing retro
sp ctively over old scenes and faces, the
soft plaintive strains of delicate but
musical voice seemed to emanate from
the parlor below. There was something
in the tone of the voice that told him he
had never heard it there before. The air
spoke volumes of sadness and breathcd
such pathos and distress that he turned
invOluntarily in his chair. and noticing in
tn mirror at the other side of the room
what change it had wrought in his
features, he jumped mp suddenly and was
about to shut out the voice from his
hearing, when it suddenly stopped. The
music had piqued his curiosity. He
would know the owner of that pathetic
voice.
The chatting of two women below told
him that some lady friend of Bertha
Mrs. Wcntworth's daughter-was prob
ably paying her a friendly visit. lie
dressed himself hastily and repaired to
the parlor, where, under the pretext of
wishing to be called early in the morning.
he had opportunity OF speaking to Bertha.
She seemed pleased to be Of service to
him and invited him in. The Rubicon
passed, he was soon engaged in delecta-
BILE COT 'erSation with Cora Lane, to whom
he had been introduced by Bertha.
OF all fair faces he had ever seen here
was the fairest. There was an air of
melancholy suffusing the entire features
that seemed in keeping with the sad, blue
eyes, tee expression of which completely
charmed him. Something indctinable in
her sweet, gentle manner, felt its way
deep, into his breast and caused it to
beat with rapture. He could have sat for
hour and contemplated her lovely face,
% great was his infatuation.
That night as he lay on his couch, with
the picture Of one fair face engrossing his
every thought, he felt he knew, that
Cora Lane was the only woman he would

gigantic undertaking. The excavation on
the north side is now about 235 feet deep,
and the rock, contrary to expectation, con-
tinues very soft and progress is cores
pondingly rapid. The machinery is all
in place on the north end. On the south
end of the tunnel the approach is not yet
completed. In the course of a few days
the south face would be ready for under
ground excavation, and it would require a
few days more to place the necessary
machinery in position. Work would then
be pushed from both ends Of the tunnel
until it is completed. The rock IN which
the southern approach is being excayated
is very hard and much more difficult to
take out thar at the other end. Mr.. Ames
says that the contractors are working hard
and have all the men employed whom
they can find room for in the tunnel.
When the machinery on the south end is
started, the work will be pushed forward
at the rate of at least ten feet per day.

TWO HOURS FIGHTING.
Craig Tolliver and his Three Broth
ers Shot Down in Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, June 25.-Craig Tolliver
and his band, who recently murdered the
two Logans, have been exterminated. On
Wednesday morning a sheriffi's band OF
resolute men, numbering more than 200,
appeared suddenly at Morehead-Toll-
yer's stronghold-at about : o'clock. a
Gordon was first established, around the
entire town, in the bush where the men
could not be seen. The sherif. then en-
tered the town at the head of about 100
armed men. Craig Tolliver and his ten
followers Immediately retreated to d hotel,
which they had previously barricaded in
such a name as to make it quite a for
midable fortress, Sheriff Hogg then no
tifved TolIiver he had warrants for the ar
rest of all the men implicated in the kill
ing of the Logan boys and asked that they
all submit peacefully to the arrest under
the law. Tolliver's reply was that neither
he nor his men would be arrested and that
100 men could not take them. His party
then opened fire upon the sherlHs posse.
Quite a brisk rattle of muskeiry ensued,
and the fighting was kept up probably for
two hours. The only casualty for a time
was a flesh wound received by one of the
sheriff's posse. The attacking party, how
ever, were gradually drawing their lines
closer around TolliYer's Notifications, and
the besieged party, finding things growing
too warm, finally concluded to make a
bold dash for liberty, fight their way
through the sheriff's lines and take to the
adjacent brush, which, if it were once
reached, would afford them secure escape,
but as they
MADE THE S
they were met by a tremendous volley,
which killed Craig Tolliver, Bud Tolliver
jaw Tolliver and Harmon Cooper. The
Others of the gang got through safely, but
as they approached the brush they were
met with a volley from the outside Gordon.
This volley wounded Cate Tolliver, a
twelve -year-old boy, and three others, all
of whom were captured, except Cate Toll
liver. The other three escaped, but one
was captured afterwards. This brought
the battle to an end.
The regulators who shot the Tollivers
were led by DR.. Logan, the father of the
two murdered boys. The Tollivers had
caused the loss of twenty-one lives during
the last two years. Recently Tolliver
managed to become a justice Of the peace
and as such ordered the arrest of the Lo-
gans. AS they resisted, Tolliver and his
gang shot them down. Hence the swift
Justice recorded above. ~

TUMBLING STOCKS.
The Leading Gould Shares take
Downward Jump.

New YORK, June 23.-The stock ex-
change this morning became extremely
active and excited, with a heavy decline.
The market opened with a feeling OF con-
fdence in many stocks, which suffered
SO severely yesterday, and large support
ing orders were given all over the room.
In a few moments there was very heavy
selling apparent. Reports were circulated
that jay Gould was dead, and there had
been a falling out between Jay Gould and
Russell Sage and Cyrus W. Field. The
room was crowded with brokers, and the
decline brought out selling oaders in all
classes of securities. Western Union be-
gan the break about II o'clock and in III
teen minutes dropped eight points. Inc
fall in other stocks was correspondingIy
great.
THE GREATEST EXCITEMENT
was in the loan crowd, where many IN
quiries were made for loans on call, but
parties prominent In loaning money re-
fused to lend any amount, no matter how
small. Stocks bought near the opening
were thrown over when the break occurred,
and this selling completely demoralized
the spectators. Wall street was a scene
of more excitement than had been wit
messed since the May panic of 1886. The
greatest declines recorded were Manhat-
ten, 4Oh points; Missouri Pacific, IL;
Western Union, 8; Richmond Terminal,
q; New England, 6, and Lake Erie O
Western, 5. Increased short Interest
saved the room from
A MONEY PANIC
by its demand for stocks for de livery, and
some large operators entered the market
and began buying freely. They soon
gathered a large following, and the buy
inc turned the market almost as rapidly
as it had fallen, and stocks took long
Jumps back to former prices. Manhattan
recovered Q per cent of its loss, and the
other stocks generally recovered about
half of the decline. r.
WALL STREET WAS PUZZLED
to account for the fact that such a great
decline could occur without dragging
down some of the bull houses which had
been carrying large lines of stock, but
this is explained by reports that Gould,
Field, Vanderbilt and Philadelphia capt.
talists had taken up the stocks which were
in weak hands, and relieved the holders OF
the necessity of sacrificing them.
